The paper introduces MotoTimePressure (MTPS), a deep learning model that predicts the time pressure experienced by powered two‑wheeler riders using 63 vehicle and environmental features. MTPS achieves 91.53% accuracy and 98.93% ROC AUC on a dataset of 129,209 feature windows from 51 experienced male riders across no, low, and high time‑pressure conditions, and its predictions improve collision‑risk models such as Informer and TimesNet. The authors argue that detecting high time pressure can inform proactive ITS interventions—adaptive alerts, haptic feedback, V2I signaling, and speed guidance—to enhance rider safety under the Safe System Approach.

PRISM (Proactive Risk Intelligence and Safety Management) is an agentic multi-model architecture designed to shift autonomous transportation safety from reactive crash avoidance to proactive, continuous risk management. It uses inverse crash‑probability modeling to transform binary crash classifiers into dynamic safety scores, and runs three specialized models—trajectory kinematics, environmental risk, and VRU interaction—coordinated by a reinforcement‑learning reasoning layer. Across 1,296 naturalistic driving scenarios, PRISM achieved a mean safety score of 68/100, classified 77.6% of situations as advisory, and flagged 3.8% as near‑misses, with 11% requiring intervention or emergency response, highlighting trajectory risk and VRU proximity as key safety factors.

The paper presents an end‑to‑end system that converts driving footage into dynamic vision sensor (DVS) event streams, augments training with simulated DVS data, and trains a convolutional spiking neural network (Conv‑SNN) to classify pedestrian crossing intent as crossing or non‑crossing. The Conv‑SNN, trained with a class‑balanced loss and surrogate‑gradient learning, achieves high accuracy and F1 scores on JAAD and CARLA DVS datasets, outperforming or matching prior frame‑based methods while operating on sparse temporal representations. The study details architectural choices, neuron dynamics, and training protocols, and provides a convergence analysis and domain‑transfer evaluation.

The paper introduces a new criticality metric specifically designed for vulnerable road users (VRUs) and a scenario‑independent prediction framework that applies to all traffic participants. The VRU‑centric metric improves pedestrian criticality classification by up to 50 %, while the prediction framework surpasses state‑of‑the‑art metrics by 275 %, achieving an F1‑score of 0.96 on the DeepAccident dataset. These advances enable more accurate, scenario‑agnostic safety assessments for autonomous driving systems.

The paper proposes a proactive approach to road safety in Greater Sydney by using connected vehicle telemetry to predict risky driving events before crashes occur. It quantifies risky driving with g‑force thresholds and builds spatio‑temporal heatmaps to locate high‑risk zones. Eight predictive models were compared, with ARIMA achieving the lowest error and showing that simple time‑series methods can rival deep learning when data are limited, highlighting the value of IoT data for targeted safety interventions.
